The Ultimate Guide to Clay Face Masks: Find the Best One for Your Skin

Clay face masks have been trusted for centuries to purify, nourish and restore balance to the skin. At Bella Forever, we believe that simple, natural ingredients can do wonders—and that’s why our entire range of clay masks is handmade, vegan, cruelty-free and 100% natural.

Whether you're tackling excess oil, dryness, breakouts or sensitivity, we’ve got a mask for you. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the benefits of each Bella Forever clay mask so you can confidently choose the one that fits your skin's needs.

Why Use a Clay Mask?

Clay masks are one of the most effective natural skincare treatments for:

• Drawing out impurities from deep within pores

• Controlling excess oil production

• Gently exfoliating dead skin cells

• Soothing inflammation and calming breakouts

• Boosting radiance by stimulating circulation

They’re also easy to apply and incorporate into a weekly skincare routine. Just mix the powder with water or a hydrosol, apply, and relax while nature works its magic.

Which Clay Mask Is Right for Your Skin?

Green Clay Face Mask – For Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

Green clay is a powerhouse when it comes to detoxifying oily or blemish-prone skin. Its strong absorption capacity makes it ideal for drawing out toxins, reducing inflammation and drying up spots without stripping the skin completely.

Best for:  Oily skin, clogged pores, acne
Key benefits:  Purifies pores, controls shine, clears breakouts
How to use:  Mix with water or rose water and apply for 10–15 minutes.

Yellow Clay Face Mask – For Combination & Dull Skin

Gentler than green clay, yellow clay brightens and refreshes skin that needs a little extra glow. It lightly exfoliates, improves circulation and stimulates cell regeneration—perfect for tired or uneven complexions.

Best for:  Dull, combination, or mature skin
Key benefits:  Boosts radiance, smooths texture, supports elasticity
How to use:  Use weekly to maintain glow without over-drying.

Red Clay Face Mask – For Sensitive & Reactive Skin

Red clay has a rich iron content that promotes cell renewal while being soft on the skin. If your skin reacts easily to new products, this is a perfect choice. It helps reduce redness and gives sensitive skin a healthy, natural flush.

Best for: Sensitive, blotchy, or rosacea-prone skin

Key benefits: Soothes irritation, improves circulation, calms inflammation

How to use: Mix with chamomile tea or aloe vera for extra calming.

Clay Masks for Dry, Congested, or Problem Skin

Pink Clay Face Mask – For Dry & Delicate Skin

Pink clay is a blend of red and white clays, offering the best of both: gentle detoxifying power without any harshness. It softly clears impurities while restoring moisture and radiance to dry, fragile skin.

Best for:  Dry, dehydrated, or delicate skin
Key benefits:  Hydrates, revitalises, softens
How to use:  Mix with coconut water or milk for extra nourishment.

Bentonite Clay Face Mask – For Deep Detox & Breakouts

If you’re dealing with blackheads, blemishes, or congested pores, bentonite clay is your go-to. Known for its powerful ability to bind to toxins and heavy metals, it delivers a deep cleanse and leaves skin visibly clearer.

Best for:  Acne, blackheads, oily skin
Key benefits:  Deep pore cleansing, draws out toxins, improves clarity
How to use:  Do not leave on until fully dry—remove while still slightly tacky.

Ghassoul Clay Face Mask – For Balancing & Exfoliation

Also known as Rhassoul, this Moroccan clay is rich in silica and magnesium, helping to gently exfoliate while balancing sebum production. It gives the skin a smoother, more even appearance with continued use.

Best for: Combination, textured, or uneven skin tone

Key benefits: Balances oil, improves tone, enhances softness

How to use: Use once a week as part of your skin-balancing routine.
